It was only after union minister Rajyawardhan Singh Rathore launched the #HumFitTohIndiaFit initiative that we could get an insight of it all. The union minister shared a video on twitter performing push-ups in his office while talking about how inspired he is by PM Modi and challenged Virat Kohli, Hrithik Roshan and Saina Nehwal to share their fitness secrets. And in no time, this initiative became a hit in the nation. Each day more and more celebs, sports personalities, ministers and people from the general populous challenged each other.

Amidst all this, Virat Kohli challenged PM Narendra Modi to share his fitness secret with the nation. In his tweet, PM Modi wrote, "Challenge accepted" and promised to share a video of his workouts soon. Guess what, the wait is over!

Our PM has been supporting and promoting the importance of fitness since the start. But not many know how our PM keeps himself fit and active despite his super-hectic schedules. PM Modi says that yoga is the most important aspect of his fitness.

In his tweet, PM Modi says, "Here are moments from my morning exercises. Apart from Yoga, I walk on a track inspired by the Panchtatvas or 5 elements of nature - Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu, Aakash. This is extremely refreshing and rejuvenating. I also practice breathing exercises. #HumFitTohIndiaFit".
